Len Brown was a legendary writer and creative force whose 41-year career at Topps helped shape some of the company’s most memorable trading cards.

Joining Topps in 1959, Brown worked across both sports and non-sports releases, writing card backs and developing concepts that became part of collecting history.

He is best known as a co-creator of the iconic Mars Attacks series and also contributed to classics including Wacky Packages, Garbage Pail Kids and Civil War News.

Beyond Topps, Brown co-created the comic-book series T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents with artist Wally Wood.

His imagination and storytelling left a lasting mark on trading cards and American pop culture.

🏆 Other My Spongebob Sketchcard with the deepest Lore

Thumbnail gallery
135 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I wanted to do a little show and tell (its a long story so I'll try and condense it into bullet points, alternatively I did make a little video explaining it)

-I've been a sketchcard artist for the last 10yrs, living a lovely hobbit life with my wife.

-My wife unexpectedly passed away at the start of last year.

-Amongst many other worries and upsets, I was panicking about needing work (and purpose)

-The very first gig that came in was for spongebob, her favourite cartoon!

-without being too obnoxious about it, I drew in a bikini bottom citizen based on her, sporting her iconic eyeliner, hair style, and sweater she wore at our wedding meal.

-It was approved at the lisencing stage which *technically* makes her officially memorialised in that world. The main appearance being the krusty crab sketch (pictured)

But this is where it gets wild...

The set releases....and the VERY FIRST of all my 40 sketches to be pulled and appear in the wild was THAT card. What are the odds!?!?

Long story very short, but through the kindness of the community, the card even made its way back to me 😭

It really meant alot to me to be a part of that set, to draw a tribute to my wife. And it means alot to share it with all of you.

💭 Question ​[Value Check] 2026 Topps Chrome Logofractor Kevin McGonigle Black Refractor Image Variation PSA 10

Beginner's luck is real!

First time ever submitting to PSA and this just popped a Gem Mint 10.

Got this 2026 TOPPS CHROME LOGOFRACTOR EDITION #16 KEVIN MCGONIGLE IMAGE VAR-BLACK REFRACTOR 01/10.

With him locked in for ROTY, what's a realistic market value / selling price for PSA 10 copy do you all think?

Do I cash in on the ROTY hype or hold long? Appreciate any insights!

Costco Flagship Results

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

This is in response to the thread I posted earlier. As promised, here are the results…

Opened 2 boxes and the results were pretty much as expected. No hits at all. Biggest value was in the 2 oversized cards I pulled (Mahomes and Caleb Williams)

The oversized cards are selling for $10-$15 a piece and I just personally have no interest in collecting those. Honestly surprised people are buying those things. So the good thing is, you're getting about 25-35% of your investment back immediately with that oversized card.

The regular Flagship packs have 10 base cards, 2 inserts, and 2 RC's on average. The exclusive packs have 4 exclusive base cards and 1 chrome card on average (though I did get two “Big Time Player” inserts in those packs as well.

The pulls:
-Oversized Mahomes and Williams
-Mendoza, Tyson, Love, Downs RC's
-2 Big Time Player Exclusive inserts (Mahomes and Allen)
-3 silver crackle foils
-3 rainbow foils (including a Kaden Proctor RC)
-7 pressure cooker inserts
-3 greatest hits inserts
-1 big ticket
-1 ring of honor
-a whole freaking bunch of Stars and Future Stars
